Today, students returned copies of both Oedipus and Antigone, then picked up copies of Hamlet. We also spent some time going over the first poem from the Wordsworth and Frost Poetry Multiple Choice Practice.

If you missed class today, you need to look at the September 6th Daily Boards. If you weren't here, you missed a test. You will not have the same essay questions as everyone else if you were gone. Instead, you will get one essay question to be answered in one 5-paragraph essay. The make-up will be Monday, September 10th after school.
Mrs. Marshall ([email protected]) came to visit our class today to talk with those of you who are on the Nook Interest Sheet. I also introduced two new practicum teachers from Northern Kentucky University! We'll see them every Monday and Wednesday, and they'll also teach some lessons! If you missed class today, please follow the September 5th Daily Boards. You will need to complete the multiple choice practice within. Tomorrow you will take a short answer test on Oedipus and Antigone.
Today, students wrote a Writing Workout on music. What do you like? Why? What do you listen to?
Next, students did some vocabulary work with the Tone-Style-Syntax Reference Sheet. Look for a photo of the new word wall soon, and take down definitions you may not have gotten. Finally, at the end of class, students finished the essay practice from Friday, August 31st. On this day, students moved through the August 30th Daily Boards. If you missed out, you do need to turn in the essay practice packet with a Late or Make-Up Cover Sheet upon your return. I am checking writing workouts soon, as well. Remember that if you miss one of those, you are accountable for making it up on your own time!
Today, students started the class period with a Writing Workout from Mrs. Wilmhoff -- try to free-write and include 3-5 words from the Word Wall. Next, students had the class period to work with the laptops on Antigone Major Works Data Sheets in Groups. If you missed class today, it is your responsibility to get in touch with your group members about how you will complete the Major Works Data Sheet for Antigone and submit it to Turnitin by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, September 3rd. Please remember that we do have a 3-day weekend coming up and schedule accordingly.
On this day, students followed the August 29th Daily Boards. If you missed class, you need to catch up with another student (or me: [email protected]) to ensure you understand how a Fishbowl Discussion works. I told students that they would need to have ALL of Antigone read by Thursday, August 30th.
Check the August 28th Daily Boards for details on today's class. If you missed class today, or even if you didn't, you should look at the notes I linked to. We didn't have time for this in class, but the notes linked to the slideshow connect the concept of Levels of Questioning with Cinderella!
Check the August 27th Daily Boards. Students who missed class should complete the multiple choice assignment and check answers with a peer. I didn't take this for a grade, but practice is the way you get better on this, people. Remember, this AP style is what you can expect to see on the exam over poetry at the end of the trimester. Also, check out the Word Wall -- we added a bunch after our reading/discussion today!
